[udig-users] Attribute help for new user
|
Hello
I have what is probably a very basic problem, but I have gone through all the help and walkthroughs with no luck.
I have an existing shapefile -- it is the geometry and tax id of all the parcels in a county. I want to be able to color-code these parcels based on what company they are leased to, which I will find from another source. I will have maybe five conditions -- leased to one of four companies, and unleased.
I tried to do this by adding an attribute "LEASED". I then planned to manually enter the data for some of the parcels as an integer, and use a theme to display the data as colored parcels on the map. However, I can't add an attribute.
I tried reshaping the shapefile to add a column by adding a line at the bottom of the list of attributes, but I got the following error message "Attribute 'xxx' is assigned to a non-existant attribute: 'xxx'" I can't find how to create that attribute.
Any help?
